jorja Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi Everyone, I don't know if you all know about my dad. My dad is 75 and last august he was diagnosed with SCLC in his right lung. He finished 6 rounds of chemo in feb and radiation in nov. There were complications with the radiation (couldn't eat or drink). About 3 weeks ago we took him to the ER because he had a fever and shortness of breathe. He was on antibiotics (2 of them) and on oxygen. They figured it was pneumonia After being in the hospital for almost 2 weeks he finally came home but was still on oxygen. Today we took him to get his CT scan done (which is out of town) and when we came home the oncologist called! I was so scared! The radiologist had called him to let him know that my dad had "air" outside of his lungs which is causing his shortness of breathe. he also said there was NO Tumour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are all so relieved. We take him to the hospital tomorrow morning so they can take a closer look at this "air" that is outside of the lungs! I hope they can remove it because he has no appetite or energy! Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks for listening, Jorja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
